Senti Bio receives 105 million US dollars. The financing round was led by Bayer.

Senti Biosciences is receiving a $105 million investment. Among the backers is Leaps by Bayer, the investment arm of Bayer AG. The San Francisco startup is working on new biological techniques to improve cell and gene therapies.

"We believe synthetic biology will become an important pillar in next-generation cell and gene therapies, and Senti Bio's leadership in developing and optimizing biological circuits fits perfectly with our goal of preventing and curing cancer and regenerating lost tissue function," said investor Juergen Eckhardt of Bayer. Senti Bio plans to start a preclinical study later this year.
